Tactical Command and Control in the Combined Arms Battalion Task Force

This monograph examines the components and relationships in the tactical command and control system of the tank and mechanized infantry battalion task force. The paper views command and control as a system from conceptual and functional perspectives. Beginning with the abstract, various theoretical models illustrate system functions and activity. Relevant battalion level doctrine is reviewed. The battlefield functional areas of maneuver control, fire support, air defense, combat service support, and intelligence and electronic warfare are addressed with emphasis on emerging developments affecting battalion operations.
